Question

MathCAD Prime 3.0 and 15

Does MathCAD Prime 3.0 come with MathCAD 15? I can't seem to find this information anywhere on the PTC website.

Mathcad 15 may not be shipped along with Prime but if you buy Prime you are entitled to use Mathcad 15 as well. Mathcad 15 will use the same license file which you get during installation of Prime. You may download MC15 from the PTC website.

To clarify:

Prime does not come with 15,

15 comes with Prime. (Buy this cubic zirconia, get this diamond for free!)

(You need 15 to convert old files to Prime; you CANNOT convert Prime 3 to anything else!)

Yes! Thats reality vs. PTC marketing.

A sad story after all.

The only meaningful reason for buying Prime is that thats the only way to get MC15.

    there is currently no way to use a mathcad prime 3.0 (or 2.0) file in mathcad 15.

    this seems like total nonsense, and whoever had this bright idea should be shown the door.

    any chance of some add-on for mathcad 15 to allow it to open a prime file?

    This isnt different from any other software...You cant open a creo 3 file in creo 2 or an AutoCAD 2014 file in AutoCAD 2010. Its rare that you can open newer files in older software.

    Sorry, But Prime is (at one side) Mathcad and (at other side) not Mathcad.

    Not Mathcad - why?

    We cannot open (or convert) Prime file in Mathcad 15

    But when I solve new task I begin do it in Prime and then if I see that I have not nessesery tools - I go to Mathcad 15
